Throughout the year I see and use lots of unique and useful items that I believe gamers and hobbyists would probably be interested in hearing about. Unfortunately, most of the time I jot down a few notes about these items or shoot out a quick tweet with the intent to share more info about them later. Then I get busy with other projects and don’t get a chance to write something a little more expansive up and share it here.

As we’re getting close to the end of the year and I’m looking through various notes I’ve made it strikes me that now, with the holidays fast approaching, is probably a good time to revisit some of these things and share them with you. This will hopefully give you time to add them to your Christmas wish lists or as gift ideas for someone else. Some of these items are unique, handmade to order from Etsy sellers and some will be things that you can easily pick up at your local hobby shop or game store and/or the always open Amazon.

Dice Bags by Etsy Seller Greyed Out Really Are High Quality!

For the first of these reviews, we go to Etsy for custom dice bags by Michael at Greyed Out. These aren’t your run of the mill mass produced dice bags and they’re a nice step up from ye olde re-purposed booze bag,  Ziploc or plastic box you might be toting your dice around in. Greyed Out dice bags are available in a variety of colors and fabrics and most have a design or symbol screen printed on the outside of the bag. This means you can probably find a bag with a specific design that’s an appropriate match for your army or game of choice.

Greyed Out Dice Bags has tons of designs themed around different styles of gaming – this one would be great for your favorite WWII miniatures game

Greyed Out dice bags are individually made with high quality stitching and attention to detail. Michael is a skilled craftsman and puts a lot of care and pride into every dice bag. I’m certainly not an expert on sewing things but when I received my bag and was checking it out the Mrs., who actually does know how to sew and craft things with fabric commented that the stitching was very nice and the overall dice bag was well made.

Another great design by Greyed Out Dice Bags – this one is just right for all of you Warhammer 30K Horus Heresy gamers

The Greyed Out dice bags have a defined shape, a flat bottom and a double drawstring top. This means when you open the dice bag it sits up straight and the sides stay up so it’s like a dice bowl. You can see into the bag which makes finding a particular set of dice easy instead of having to dump the whole thing out to sort through it. When you close the bag, the double drawstrings keep it tightly closed and prevent any dice escapes. Some of the bags are reversible with different fabric inside. I believe most of the dice bags have a four inch bottom and are about five inches tall which means there’s lots of room in the bag for at least 100-150 dice depending on the size of your dice assortment.

Greyed Out Dice Bags keep your dice secure…

Michael has a background in costume design for theater and an appreciation for nice fabrics. This means the bags have a nice, almost luxurious feel to them. They’re not made from cheap felt or pleather, they look and feel substantial. The bag I purchased has a suede like exterior with an interior that looks like a hand drawn dungeon/caverns map like you might draw on a sheet of graph paper. The bag is also reversible as I’ve shown in the photos below. I almost always get comments about my dice bag the first time people see it.
